NTV's Gertrude Uwitware kidnapped, blindfolded

KAMPALA. Police have launched the hunt for suspected criminals that had kidnapped NTV’s journalist Gertrude Tumusiime Uwitware on Saturday.
Ms Uwitware who was reportedly found dumped in the areas of Kira Division late in the night, said she was abducted, blind-folded by two people; a woman and a pistol-wielding man before being driven to a secret location where she was interrogated for hours.
According to the NTV’s management, Ms Uwitware was picked up by unknown people driving a saloon car along the Nile Avenue on her way from having lunch.
Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson condemned and described Ms Uwitware’s kidnap as an act of cowardice.
“We thank all concerned and ask them to calm and promise to investigate these matters and bring the culprits to book,” Mr Kayima said in a statement.
